Biomedical imaging with light-scattering spectroscopy (LSS) is a novel optical technology developed to probe the structure of living epithelial cells in situ without need for tissue removal.

The study found that gastric cells in some individuals carried three copies of certain chromosomes, hinting toward exposure ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities -- are mute, ...

Researcher suggests compounds secreted by high-risk MSCs that are detectable in the bloodstream could act as biomarkers for ...

researchers can now analyze these mutations in normal tissues and trace them back over time, providing insights into aging ...

Our skin and mucous membranes protect us like vigilant sentinels against the onslaught of harmful pathogens. This extraordinary defense owes its strength to epithelial cells—specialized tissues woven ...

Epithelial organ development is achieved through inductive interactions between different tissue types, typically between epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Although the signaling pathways regulating ...

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest form of gynecologic cancer, taking the lives of more than 13,000 women in the U.S. each year. The most common type, high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), is ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have developed eye drops that extend vision in animal models of a ...
